Re: change the font color of a string variable in PHP

Hi chris, i am using mssql and php, so i trying to get the query result when the user enters the query and submits the execute button. i want to differentiate the syntactically correct query and the incorrect query with differ colors. here i am posting my code if (-1 == $connection) $result = mssql_query($query);// or die("Fehler beim Schreiben in die Datenbank"); else $result = mssql_query($query, $connection);// or die("Fehler beim Schreiben in die Datenbank"); if (!$result) { print "<p style=\"color:red;\">MS-SQL-Fehler: ".mssql_get_last_message()."</p>\n"; $error=1; //my changes} what i am trying to do is intialising a global variable "$error=0" and changing it to 1 if error occurs. when displaying i am writing like this foreach($_SESSION['history'] as $item) { $item = str_replace(";","",$item); if(error==0) echo "<option >$item</option>"; else echo "<option style=\"color: red;\">$item</option>"; but it doe not work can you pls tell me.
